bottle advice

its my 2nd baby and this time im really wanting to breastfeed/pump alot more than I did with my 1st (in laws pressured me about formula/bottle feeding, apparently I was taking away their bonding time 🫤). But ive bought breast pumps this time and i was wondering what bottles babies suit best if they're also breastfeeding.
My previous used MAM and Tommee Tippee, we tried Dr Browns but I lost the inside lid things and they leaked so I just gave up 😂 she started on tommee tippee and I just found she took to MAM better and only used them from about 4 months.

I know each baby is different but just wondering if their was any bottle that just seemed to do better for breastfeeding/pumping mamas 😅

also anyone able to recommend a baby carrier/wrap? affordable if possible! just feel like it'll be easier when looking after my 1st and baby won't go down etc. just wanna prepare for all possibilities haha😅😂

My babies always did well with the little purple Lansinoh bottles (breastfed 11 months with 1st and still doing at 6 months with second)

I’m still breastfeeding my 2 year old (attempting to wean but it’s not going well🤣) and I’m due baby number 2 in October. My little boy took mam bottles of breastmilk occasionally until about 3 months old and never touched a bottle again, tried loads and he just wasn’t for them at all although my friends who have breastfed and bottle fed, their babies took pretty much any bottle that was given🥲 x

We introduced both bottle and best from day one and it's worked really well. We've had a few different bottles and little one has never had an issue. We use Tommie tippee most often. With either pumped milk or formula. If a few days passes when he hasn't used a bottle he forgets a bit so using them regularly seems to make it easiest so even when I'm on my own with him I make sure to give a bottle at least once a day

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
